A sliding module having a sliding sleeve and at least one cam segment having at least one cam. The sliding sleeve has a positioning section for positioning the cam segment fixedly against rotation and displacement. The positioning section includes a surface structure on the outer circumferential face of the sliding sleeve for producing a press-fit connection between the cam segment and the sliding sleeve. A stop region is provided configured to limit an axial movement of the cam segment.

A method of manufacturing an end piece for a camshaft may include forming a shape of an end piece to be coupled to a camshaft by compacting steel and powder in a net-shape manner and by sintering steel and a powder compact that are preassembled to each other.

A device for forming circumferential grooves in pipe elements uses multiple geared cam bodies mounted on a carriage which rotates about a fixed pinion. The gears engage with the pinion which causes the geared cam bodies to rotate relative to the carriage. Traction surfaces and cam surfaces on the cam bodies traverse the outer surface of the pipe element and impress a circumferential groove therein. To substantially prevent rotation of the pipe element the pitch circle diameter of the pinion equals the outer diameter of the pipe element and the pitch circle diameters of the traction surfaces equal the pitch circle diameters of the gears.

A cam mechanism for converting a swiveling movement of a drive-side shaft into a linear output movement. A cam disk is attached to the drive-side shaft, a slider is shiftable in a linear guide, and a cam follower is applied against the circumferential surface of the cam disk. Swiveling movement of the cam disk leads to a linear output movement of the slider in the linear guide. The circumference of the cam disk is spiral-shaped at least in sections, and the radius of the cam disk increases monotonically in the spiral-shaped section from a start radius to an end radius along a swiveling direction. By selecting two reversal points within the spiral-shaped section, the setting of a variable stroke can occur. A piston pump is provided with the cam mechanism and a method is provided for using the cam mechanism and the piston pump.

A cam liner for use in an integrated drive generator has a cam liner body extending between a first end spaced from the second end by a first distance. The body is generally cylindrical. An outer diameter of the cam liner defines a second distance. A ratio of the first distance to the second distance is between 0.90 and 1.00. An integrated drive generator and a method are also disclosed.

Receiving arrangements for receiving camshafts and methods for grinding machining camshafts may be used with camshafts that have a shaft body that extends along an axis of rotation and includes functional elements. A gearwheel may be mounted on the shaft body, wherein a receiving body is provided, by means of which the camshaft can be at least partially received for purposes of performing a grinding machining process. The gearwheel may include a receiving means onto which the receiving body can be engaged and by way of which it is made possible for the camshaft to be received by the receiving body.

A cam having at least two part cams are arranged axially behind one another along a longitudinal axis includes an undercut between the cam parts. The part cams have running faces which lie radially on the outside of the part cams and have different variable running face contours. The undercut has a profile with a variable contour which is dependent in each case on that adjacent running face contour which is at a smaller radial spacing from the longitudinal axis than the other running face contour.

A camshaft and method of producing a camshaft for an internal combustion engine. The camshaft includes a base shaft and an external toothing extending at least in certain portions axially along the base shaft. The camshaft includes a hub with an internal toothing which correlates with the external toothing of the base shaft such that the hub is connected rotationally conjointly and axially non-displaceably to the base shaft. The external toothing has at least one form-fit subregion that extends axially at least in certain portions along the base shaft, or one force-fit subregion in order for the hub to be arranged at least in a form-fitting or force-fitting manner. At least the form-fit subregion or the force-fit subregion is adjoined by at least one alignment region which extends at least in certain portions axially along the base shaft and which serves for the angular alignment of the hub.

A lift truck employs forward and reverse pedals connected through respective cams having different upper and lower cam profiles that engage to provide asymmetric reciprocal pedal motion. For example, first pedal depression causes a first cam upper profile to engage with a second cam upper profile and cause increased elevation of a second pedal, and first pedal depression causes a first cam lower profile to disengage with a second cam lower profile associated with the second pedal, such that first pedal depression is greater than the increased elevation of the second pedal.

A shift drum arrangement includes a shift drum with at least one first shift gate and/or a shift drum path for actuating at least one shift element of a transmission, in particular of a motor vehicle. A blocking device has a blocking gate and a blocking pin which engages in the blocking gate. The blocking gate has a labyrinth contour, and therefore the blocking pin strikes against a stop contour in one direction of rotation of the shift drum and blocks the further rotation of the shift drum. The block is released after the shift drum is partially rotated back in the reverse direction of rotation.
